Psalmi 51
1 Usmili se me, oh Bog, glede na svojo ljubečo skrbnost, glede na množino svojih nežnih usmiljenj izbriši moje prestopke.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Temeljito me operi moje krivičnosti in me očisti mojega greha.
Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kajti priznavam svoje prestopke in moj greh je vedno pred menoj.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
4 Zoper tebe, tebe samega, sem grešil in storil to zlo v tvojem pogledu, da bi bil ti lahko opravičen, kadar spregovoriš in bil čist, kadar sodiš.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
5 Glej, oblikovan sem bil v krivičnosti in v grehu me je spočela moja mati.
Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Glej, želiš resnico v notranjih delih in na skritem delu mi boš storil, da spoznam modrost.
Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
7 Očisti me z izopom in bom čist. Umij me in bom bolj bel kakor sneg.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Daj mi slišati radost in veselje, da se kosti, ki si jih zlomil, lahko veselijo.
Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Svoj obraz skrij pred mojimi grehi in izbriši vse moje krivičnosti.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Ustvari v meni čisto srce, oh Bog, in prenovi pravega duha v meni.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Ne zavrzi me izpred svoje prisotnosti in svojega svetega duha ne vzemi od mene.
Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
12 Obnovi mi radost svoje rešitve duše in s svojim voljnim duhom me podpiraj.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
13 Potem bom prestopnike učil tvojih poti in grešniki bodo spreobrnjeni k tebi.
I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
14 Osvobodi me pred krivdo prelitja krvi, oh Bog, ti Bog rešitve moje duše in moj jezik bo na glas prepeval o tvoji pravičnosti.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Oh Gospod, odpri moje ustnice in moja usta bodo naznanila tvojo hvalo.
Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Kajti ne želiš si klavne daritve, sicer bi ti jo dal. Ne razveseljuješ se v žgalni daritvi.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Božje klavne daritve so zlomljen duh. Zlomljenega in skesanega srca, oh Bog, ne boš preziral.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Po svoji dobri volji stôri dobro Sionu, pozidaj jeruzalemske zidove.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Potem boš zadovoljen s klavnimi daritvami pravičnosti, z žgalno daritvijo in popolno žgalno daritvijo. Potem bodo na tvojem oltarju darovali bikce.
Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
